Great menu variety, tasty food, very laid back atmosphere. Grab and eat - perfect!
Been really enjoying the food, coffee drinks, and atmosphere here. The bagels are good!
I bring my bird to Cornell animal hospital. When I asked for a good place to have lunch everyone recommended CTB. Thru were right! Such delicious food that's beautifully prepared. I look forward to coming back!
We arrive at opening hour 7am. The 3 staff see us and leave the door closed, and let us stand in the pouring rain for 5 minutes.... So we go to Starbucks
I really enjoy college town bagels. The fake egg patty’s need to go. If we could have real eggs Ithaca would feel better.
Coffee was good, great place to settle in and work for a while. I absolutely love the bathroom aesthetic, and the door!
Great vibe. Nice selection. Top notch brew.
The bagel place is friendly, courteous and clean. The bagels are not that great though, they are a bit chewy and small. Coming from NYC where we have some of the best bagels these bagels just didn't hit the spot. My mouth was a bit tired from chewing it. I guess it is true what they say that it is something in the water that makes NYC bagels one of the best. The egg, cheese and bacon on a roll sandwich was pretty good, but overall given that it has bagels in their name, I would just knock 2 stars from review. I would suggest their sandwiches on a roll. A bit disappointing though given that I was looking for fresh tasting bagels and they are fresh but not soft, don't have that outer crispy tase you get with fresh bagels and like I said mostly on the small side for a bagel.
Great bagels! The menu was overwhelming and I didn’t know where to look first to figure out my order. Ended up with a great plain bagel. The turkey panini was very large and fit for two people. Overall nice atmosphere and good seating. The staff were very helpful too. Hope this helps!
Super cozy Cafe! Really nice panini and sandwich options and great place to sit and chat. Also great bathrooms.
CTB is hit and miss place, sometimes everything is fantastic, food, service and atmosphere and sometimes it is just horrible. Most of time espresso is good, occasionally there is barista who don't care and coffee is just offending in the way it was prepared and served.
As a NJ native, I can never give this place 5 stars. The bagels themselves just aren't that great. But some of the sandwiches are good! I really like the vegan one with beyond and just eggs and fake cheese
10 outta 10 you should get breakfast here. Best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in a long time. It’s laid back and in the heart of Ithaca. Do yourself a favor and go.
Overall I was pleasantly surprised. Good selection of sandwiches, bagels, coffee, smoothies, and pastries. Friendly service and prompt. Tasted good, no complaints!
Always a delicious choice when visiting Ithaca! I make sure to visit every time I’m in town.
I enjoy coming to CTB. The coffee is good, the food is delicious, and the ambiance is great. I normally get a black coffee and a bagel sandwich to go. They have a station by the door where you can add any dairy milk or non-dairy products as well as plenty of sugar to add to your regular cup o joe. The staff is kind, too. It can sometimes take a bit to get to the front of the line, but the wait is worth it.
Took off one star for the long wait time. I had to wait about 20 min to get a sandwich. Otherwise, the place is nice and food is good. Friendly staff. Prices are reasonable. They have a good variety of sandwiches.
I was standing at the register for a while before being noticed, there was only one girl up there and she was standing on her phone in the corner until she looked up and saw me waiting. With no regard for how unprofessional that was, casually strolled over. Someone else came to make the drink after I ordered, and she walked right back to the corner and hit her Juul, barely making an effort to hide it. If that's Collegetown Bagels standards at this location I will not be coming back.
Cute little shop and delicious bagels and sandwiches!! Coffe is tasty too!
Great place for sandwiches and bagels! Sandwiches are good! Also they have good breakfast sandwiches! Coffee was great. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great atmosphere inside. Big selection of sweets and pastries.
